Shocking: Vance’s response to vile texts from young Republicans — “kids are being kids” and “let’s not ruin their lives for joking around” — appalling. One “kid” over 30. It exposes uncomfortable truth.What’s being normalized in U.S. under Trump. Most Americans are not this — but far too many are

What’s not being talked about: the Department of Education has shut down all special needs services and dismissed staff. People need to know this.

Trump is pushing toward a one-party system. He’s purged the IRS, firing non-loyalists and replacing them with loyal supporters—possibly paving the way for AI-driven targeting. Reports say the IRS received a list of Democratic donors with instructions to investigate them criminally. Disgusting.

Or if he dies, the question becomes who’s really controlling things behind the scenes — they likely already have a succession plan in place.

Delusional—or simply greedy and corrupt—Trump claimed he now controls the waters around Venezuela and is searching for land to “move to the next level. This would be an illegal war. It is all about Trump, oil and his corrupt supporters. How much money is enough?

Yes yes yes. It is so corrupt and obscene. They are morally bankrupt with a lot of power.

Trump is promoting his “Trump Arc” to top donors, while tech bros try to bribe him for deregulation to build data centers that will only create temporary-job. At dinner, he had a large
sombrero to mock Democratic leadership. This while govt. is shut down and people have no income or services.

Sorry, I thought you were responding to Brian Cohen’s update, which isn’t good for Democrats. I agree—abusers often have no boundaries, complicated hostile-dependent relationships, and can be controlling. Wonder if he doesn't trust her when not in his presence. Unbelievable he was given such a job.

Carmendp @carmendp.bsky.social · 13h

Yes, they could gain up to 20 seats, which could threaten democracy unless Democrats take action—redistricting where possible and mobilizing voters. Long-term planning is essential.

Yesterday, L.A. County Board of Supervisors declared state of emergency over actions of ICE agents. Their aggressive, Nazi-like tactics are spreading fear and violence. Attempt to discourage No King protest? Vance also planned “Marine spectacle” on the I-50 highway.

Disgusting: When ICE agents attacked TV producer Debbie Brockman, they went so far as to expose her buttocks to humiliate her. She feared for her life. She was simply walking to the bus stop on her way to work. Brockman is now pursuing all legal options.
